"I have been working very hard with Pravin Amre. I make sure I am in touch with him before every game and work on whatever we have done or make sure I have my videos sent to him, and see what I need to do," said Nayar after scoring an unbeaten ton against Baroda in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal at the Wankhede Stadium.

"(Today) I was trying to stand way out of the leg stump, I was shuffling a lot more and I didn't want to fall across. I was looking to play straight and make sure that I had enough time to hit the ball through the on-side and off-side.

"I opened up my stance a bit so that my leg doesn't go across and I don't fall over. It was a conscious effort I made in the last game and this game. We are working on it so that I don't repeat my mistakes, what I did last year," he said.

Nayar has scored 852 runs so far and was unbeaten on 122 in a team score of 524 for six against Baroda.

He has notched up three tons and seven fifties and is now hopeful of earning a recall to the Indian team with his recent performance in the Ranji.

"Obviously I am playing for a bigger reason than just making runs. I obviously want to get back into the Indian team and do well there as well. My target is right up there, so I am trying to make sure that I push myself to the limit and get the best out of myself," said the left-handed batsman, who bowls right arm medium pace and has played in three ODIs so far.
